Perth Scorchers coach Justin Langer wanted his any of his spinners to do an ‘Eric Hollies’ on Sachin Tendulkar, but it was left-arm fast medium bowler, Jason Behrendorff, who sent Sachin Tendulkar back to the dugout for duck in the Champions League t20 match in Delhi on Thursday.

England’s leg-spinner Hollies was best known for having bowled Sir Don Bradman for a duck with a googly.
Few bowlers have succeeded in sending the Little Master packing before he has opened his account. So we thought we’d find out a little more about Jason ‘Eric Hollies’ Behrendorff.
Ben Somerford, the Communications Coordinator at WACA (Western Australia Cricket Association) was kind enough to send more detailed about the relatively less unknown bowler.
